Lots of iconic and nostalgic moments so almost imposible to decide.

Still remember where my mom bought me the game boy and Tetris is a game that more than 30 years later I play A LOT (thanks to Tetris 99).
Super Mario World was mind-blowing but Mario 64 was even more spectacular.
But I’m a sport game lover so Super Soccer, super tennis, ISS (N64) , and Pro Evolution Soccer 3D were system sellers for me.

I think I’ll go with Super Nintendo. Sure that’s when I spent more time at launch playing. And 3DS. Loved Pilotwings Resort. Amazing visuals. And PES 3D must be the game I’ve played the most in my life (the 2012 version, not the quite rushed 2011 but loved it)

And what about Zoo Keeper and Polarium in DS?

In Spain all major shop including Amazon opened preorders already.
Didn’t want to because I was a little/a lot disappointed but we’ll, finally did the preorder.

@vyscheslav333 whats that ??
I have to say I’m kinda lost in their schelude.
Should I play that strange Sachiko party game in Steam ??

Instabuy.
Love the first one (though can’t remember where I played it. PSP?) and specially Book of Shadows. So so disturbing.
Can’t play a lot of Blood Drive, still trying, and Dead Patient was nor bad nor good either.

So, I have to say my favourite horror series now is Death Mark (it plays very like Book of Shadows). I’m playing Death Mark 2 now and although some unnecessary The Coma inspired passages, it’s fantastic. Japanese have such crazy minds.

Of course YES. If rumours say the machine is a a bit bigger, I would prefer cartridges like Evercade ones, which probably are even cheaper than the switch ones.
And easier to swap. I totally hate to change the switch ones and that’s an important reason why I’m more digital than ever these days (for retro it’s just the opposite)

Still have my complete SNES card. Man , it was difficult but even with a guide just to see ALL THE THINGS you had to do and how difficult it was… but still a classic for me. Loved the Game Boy one and finished it several times, it was just fun to play.
The last I played for hours was the Game boy Advance Park Builder. Just soooo addictive.
The Mega CD one looked so good but never had the opportunity to play it

@Ooyah sounds so similar to Hammer Boy, a Spanish game by Dinamic. But I remember it to be like a clone to something else…

For me this happens with early pc or spectrum games. Or Arcade. Looong time ago.
I remember for example playing in a monochrome screen a game about a prisoner who had to make the jail routines while trying to scape. Or something like that. On another disc I had King Quest I so imagine.
Or a game in spectrum that had Einstein in the cover and was about making atoms bump into other atoms

I like all of them… except the one I have, the Spanish one. Voted for Japan. It’s nice to see the characters there, with that big space.
Loved this game. Very touching at some points.
The first RPG that got translated to Spanish, i think. It was a big thing !

It will be interesting to add to the question when did you played the game.

For me, it’s very clear. The first one. I played it when it came out and it was magical. The beach conversation is still one of my favourite moments ever in videogames. And still watch the ending sequence from time to time in YouTube. The music gets me every time.

The remake looks good ? Yes. In photos. Its performance is absolutely awful. How it slows down EVERYTIME you get out somewhere during seconds (and that Nintendo didn’t fix it instantly) just annoys me. That and the total lack of… that something that a classic has to have.

Will someone consider the truly masterpiece Links awaekening is if only the remake existed? Don’t think so.

Apart from the abysmal performance (they really should have waited a month or two before releasing), the game is practically the same I remember. Same humour that make me smile, same fun mechanics, same absurd quest you sometimes complete by pure luck.

Golf story wasn’t THAT good, and this one isn’t THAT bad. The rest maybe is related to high expectations and that 5 years have gone by, and maybe the game style hasn’t change but people does.

It’s difficult but it’s not THAT difficult. You go for a walk, gain experience, go back. I played Gremlins 2 on the game boy so… this seems fair to me.
As I said before in another post, for me as a 40 year old gamer, it’s a masterpiece with a lot of nostalgia in the mix.
A physical manual will be absurd for someone who hasn’t played the game. Necessary for a collector.
I don’t think you need a guide until the very very last and optional puzzles. Everything else is quite logical.
Totally and absolutely recomended. Especially for older (or more patience orientated) gamers.

@coletd it’s that kind of game. Very very special.

For me, a true masterpiece made with lots of love.
I felt the joy of playing as a child again (I’m 41 now). I kept my (lots of) handwritten notes and drawings after finishing the game.

A bit difficult and obscure sometimes? Maybe. But always rewarding.
I’ll buy a physical copy (with a copy of the game’s coin PLEASE) without doubting.

I remember having a perfect and complete Whirlo Pal for super nes and loved that game. Changed it at the time at a local store for a complete Secret of Mana so well, not bad.
As a boy normally people treat their games quite badly and lost lots of boxes and manual and I was no exception. Then I started to care and that’s why I have perfect copies of Metroid 2, Ducktales 2 or both Zelda Ages for Game Boy or a Ranma pal for snes from that time.

Also had a collector phase years ago so have loads of games, some probably very valuable. Started selling some recently but it’s soooooo difficult for me.
My favourite are the virtual boy collection, nearly all the games except Virtual Lab and Space Invaders I think. Some without box, like Waterworld.
A super mario land unopened from the late classic collection (or so it seems)
All pal phoenix wright games, Edgeworth investigations included…

Wow.
I think that ALL the score could have been too much but it would have been something incredible for sure.
Long ago they were a bit more “melodic”. Saw them live in June and “alien music” fits so well.

Loved every second of it.
Its normal but special un/real atmosphere.
And the card game can get quite tricky and addictive.
Remember it puts a smile on my face

And “The starship Damrey” too, although it was a bit more… rough. But loved the theme.

This rings a bell in the deepest part of my brain. Definitely played it in my life. Don’t know when or where. But that’s a design not easy to forget. Will buy eventually.

It’s quite frustrating really.

And… just received an email that says the Playdate delays too. Nooooo.

Did not love the games of that era but totally into N64 controller, genius avant-garde work.
Just for Mario64 and ISS64, I’m in.

And Wave Race 64, and Shadows of the Empire’s first level.

@hammers1man
I agree with a lot that you say. I play a lot of games in Apple Arcade because sometimes they are an absurd 15€ Per game in the Nintendo store.
BUT how many steam decks will be sold ? 3 millions ? 10 being VERY OPTIMISTIC? Niche to me. No Exclusives and nothing you can’t do with a fancy portable pc or mid table pc.
Probably some people that play big games on the go will change platform but I think they are not a big number.

Man, how tiring.
I think Steam Deck is such a niche thing that everybody is talking about and I bet more and less 10% a will buy it. I’ve bought the cheapest model.
Exactly the same as the Playdate. Probably will sell more and less equally (with their expectations).
Are they switch competition? Is there a competition in the first place? In some peoples head, I suppose.
They both will be a paragraph or a line in videogame history.
Perspective, please.

Every picross game has 4-5 music tracks, one for mode.
I don’t think they will add songs to the ones in the demo actually, but who knows. One day left to know.

I must say all of them are quite nice EXCEPT the Alex Kidd one. It gets annoying so fast.

A (not-so-) little masterpiece.
The august 5th update is for iOS too. Might check it.

Attack of the Friday Monsters was quite… touching. That perfect mix of nostalgia, reality vs memories and dreamy atmosphere I think got quite exactly the way late 30s- early 40s approach our childhood.
And spent hours playing its card game.
Will buy this for sure BUT what I need the most is the new Shin Chan game. There’s a chance here in Spain as it is (well, was, actually) quite a popular character we can get an exclusive like GBA times

PD: I LOVED The Starship Damrey too.

Best to-the-space-pass in a football game EVER.
The PlayStation controller felt absurdily unprecise and awkward then and Still hate it today thanks to my Nintendo background.
If you played the N64 or the GC controller at their time with their games, nothing can get close to them. Period.
A design masterpiece we will still discuss 30 years after it. Ops. It’s NOW.
OMG I’m so old.

I’ll wait and buy one. That’s for sure. It’s ok during the circumstances.
That said, I was bored last Christmas and started playing with my old game boys. Some have no sound or the buttons weren’t working.
After buying some spare things you-know-where, and a false game boy colour too, the sensation of playing the games on the original hardware (my old DMG game boy with a new speaker) is PRICELESS. It’s not nostalgia, it’s some kind of magic. And I don’t think they can replicate that.

PD: Top Ranking Tennis forever (been playing that lately and love it so much).

Already preordered it on Amazon.co.jp in a collector compulsion BUT part of the new batch of games means childhood memories to me.
Spent loads of pesetas (current money back then) on Shinobi and Shadow Dancer on Arcade and played a lot the Master System version of Bonanza Bros and ESWAT.

@the_beaver That’s because I consider it more of a party rhythm game that an actual tennis one. In fact I didn’t even remember until you mentioned it.
Don’t know if it has gotten better after updates, but when I played, the normal mode with all the specials was nothing like tennis. And the mode without specials was... quite boring and not very real either.

I’m totally in.
All tennis games are welcome.
Switch has now 3 decent-to-very-good ones: AO, Super Tennis and Smash Court.
Hope this one will be on the list.

Like someone said I would pick the European because of how iconic it is. Don’t know how many hours I lost playing this.
The through ball was so well implemented.
I hate the 98 version don’t know why and then got so addicted again to the 2000 version and its freak career mode. Good times.

Looks quite interesting! A lot like the last corpse party game but with a better gameplay. Probably buying !
